Abstract |
An analysis of policy making structure and process within the department of Health concerned with the issue of smoking and health. This paper deals with an important area of public policy both in terms of process and substance. It attempts to identify how policy is made in New Zealand. How policy is determined by the elected representative of the people and how far policy is made by the permanent state employees. The way political power is brought to bear in policy implementation is examined, as is the question: What level of policy research and analysis on smoking and health is affected in New Zealand? Attention is directed towards complex ideas of participation, representation and minority rights as well as to democratic theory in relation to cause and influence of conflict, public opinion formation, interest group influence and public policy making |

Abstract |
An exploratory study of the functioning of four multi disciplinary health care teams ( HCT) in the New Zealand services and possible implications foe Health personnel education. This research seeks to 1. establish form structure and functioning of the HCT in the relation to the delivery of comprehensive primary health care. 2. Determine what collaborative skills are being used, the extent of interdependence and these factors which inhibit the use of these skills in providing primary health care. 3. Identify the key requirements for, and these factors which limit the successful functioning of the HCT in the provision of comprehensive primary health care. Data has been collected through structured interviews and observations. The analysis will compare and contrast the functioning of the social groups in the different settings in terms of their responses to both HCT index and appropriate contextual variables such that differences and similarities are delineated |

Abstract |
There's Nobody There, is a qualitative study of the practise of caring for confused elderly people. It examines the implications of community care for social policy. It presents an account of the everyday lives of twenty eight family members who care for people with Alzheimer's disease or a related dementia. It shows that community care like other forms of care, carries a cost that the burden is largely borne by the carers themselves, rather than by the State |

Abstract |
This thesis presents a study of a nursing 'practicum' from the perspectives of nursing students and staff 'buddies'. A grounded theory approach was used to interview six nursing students during their transition placement, the final practicum of their Diploma in Nursing programme. Five staff nurse buddies selected by the students were also interviewed. An informal, conversational interview was used and data was analysed from an experiential learning perspective.This study differs from others because it focuses on the clinical experience component of nursing education, 'practicum', and includess practitioners viewpoints. At present there is a re-evaluing of experience within nursing education with a new emphasis on practice-based learning. Experience-based learning is becoming increasingly acceptable within academia as a 'seamless' education system evolves.I identified three learning stages which students' experience during practicum – initiation, exploration and consolidation. The key stage for learning through experience was exploration. Learning during this stage was predominantly buddy-directed which contradicted the self-directed curriculum design. Students and staff nurses however agreed that communication between them during this stage enabled the development of 'competence'.The learning /teaching approach used by the students and staff nurses made it difficult for students to translate their 'all-round' competencies during practicum. It is argued that it is the useof such competencies during practicum which enable nursing students to become autonomous in the attitudinal and epistemological sense. The predominantly 'technical training' approach adopted was understood by students and staff nurses to be reinforced by 'silence' from tutors.Restructuring gives the opportunity for nursing to develop an ';investigative', enquiry-based approach in practice. There will increasingly be an emphasis on practice-based research as a result of the implementation of degree and post-graduate programmes in nursing. This study highlights some aspects of nursing education and it's relationship with practice which can assist the development of such an approach |

Abstract |
This research investigates the impact of fifteen psychiatric nurses' personal experiences on their therapeutic relationships with clines. A hermeneutic phenomenological methodology informed by Heidegger is employed to gain an understanding of the human experience of these nurses in the context of the therapeutic relationship.The research illuminates the significant impact of these nurses' experiences on their relationships. Some experiences are found to enhance therapeutic readiness while the other personal experiences impede it, some impeding it to a degree that nurses are unable to work therapeutically with certain clients. The stories that describe the personal experiences that lead towards therapeutic readiness care special, as are the accounts of the professionalism and care that these nurses bring to their clients |

Abstract |
This action research project explored the factors that helped or hindered student nurse clinical learning from the perspective of nurse educators, practitioners and students. Participant analysis of their own discussions identified both common and disparate views regarding the student's learning experience. Researcher analysis identified five practical and three organizational issues that influenced the development of more effective partnerships between these three stakeholder groups that would facilitate student clinical learning. The practical issues were how to deal with the 'problem' people in the learning process, how to clarify and develop the various roles in the learning context, how to generate more effective communication, how to respond more effectively to the impact of the changing environment, and how to maximize 'moments of learning'. The organizational issues were identified as the schisms between the disparate personal and organizational cultures that direct the way educators, practitioners and students, perceive, think, feel and act |

Abstract |
Up until the 1980s most of the historical writing about nursing and nurses in this country has been told from the points of view of past nursing leaders. The realities of day-to-day nursing in New Zealand general hospitals were relatively unknown.This thesis examines the experience of general hospital nursing between 1945 and 1960. The recollections of thirty-four nurses who nursed during this period have provided the key sources from which the major themes of this study have emerged. These themes, of dirty work, authoritarian control and discipline, and learning nursing are discussed within the context of an expanding hospital system and a shortage of nurses.The study demonstrates the vast differences between the recollections of nurses of the experience of nursing and the rather high-flown rhetoric of the nursing leadership.Changes to the amount of cleaning, the ;level of discipline and control, and ways in which learning nursing was organised were small and gradual and occurred in the late 1950s.Overall, though, nursing in general hospitals by 1960 ws almost unchanged from the 1930s.An ethos of selfless service, opposition to unionism, and Christian altruism was till dominant amongst the nursing leadership. Nurses in training still worked a six day week, were expected to stay on duty until the work was done, and were supervised closely in, on and off duty time |
